Les problemes d'Alexandre Aphrodisé, excellent et ancien philosophe, pleins de matieres de medecine et de philosophie, traduits de grec en françois,...
A 1555 French translation from Greek of the Problemata, a medical and philosophical question-and-answer work by the ancient philosopher Alexander of Aphrodisias, translated by Mathurin Heret and printed in Paris by Guillaume Guillard for a learned readership. The pictures are plain black-letter text pages with dense justified columns and one decorated initial with interlaced foliage and a small figure, offering a designer a model for historic typographic texture, ornamental capitals and historic book layout.
